CAITLIN GIERCKE
VICE PRESIDENT + BOARD MEMBER
“Hello! My name is Caitlin Giercke, and I am the owner of Pharmasave #456 in Portage la Prairie, a community of almost 14,000 people, but we service many surrounding communities as well.
I have been a pharmacist for almost 20 years, but a business owner for only 4. l chose to open my own business to be able to provide a more personal and tailored service to my patients that they may not be able to get in a bigger pharmacy. My team is well known in the community, and we are able to greet most of our patients by name and most leave our shop smiling.”
Caitlin’s Self-Care
“When not working, I am a wife to another business owner (electrical contractor) and we have 3 lovely children, currently 12, 11 and 10 years of age. Extracurriculars keep us busy (mostly my husband though!) but in my downtime (limited, of course) I enjoy reading, watching old 90s sitcoms and the medicinal glass of red wine.
My mental health is a challenge some days, balancing work/wife/kid life and I wouldn't be able to do it without my network of other business owners, other pharmacists and friends I can reach out to, and my amazing staff who know my struggles and are here to help however they can.”
